Abstract

Aim: To investigate the relationship between nutritional status (NS) and diet quality (DQ) with the frequency of acute respiratory infections (ARIs) in children aged 5 to 7 years.

Methods: Data were obtained through questionnaires. Anthropometric measurement, correlations between body mass index (BMI) and DQ with frequency of ARIs were analysed.

Results: A total of 129 children with an average age of 72.2±4.2 months were examined. Malnourished children had a 3.4 times higher probability of ARIs (OR=3.449; p=0.025, 95% CI=0.109-29.049) and a 5.6 times higher probability of bronchopneumonia compared to those with normal weight (OR=5.643; p=0.049, 95% CI=0.874-36.434). There was a significant positive association between the consumption of meat and meat products with bronchitis (p=0.030; OR 9.921; 95% CI -1.252, +78.610) and a significant negative relationship between the consumption of cooked meals and ARIs in total (p=0.015; OR 0.046; 95% CI -0.004, +0.552). Unexpectedly, a significant positive association was found between the consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables and some respiratory infections, which needs to be verified with additional analyses.

Conclusion: DQ and NS are associated with the frequency of ARIs in preschool children. Additional analyses are needed with a larger number of participants in order to form more precise conclusions.

5 至 7 岁学龄前儿童营养状况和饮食质量与急性呼吸道感染的相关性。

目的：研究营养状况（NS）和饮食质量（DQ）与 5 至 7 岁儿童急性呼吸道感染（ARI）频率之间的关系：通过问卷调查获得数据。方法：通过问卷调查获得数据，并对人体测量、体重指数（BMI）和饮食质量与急性呼吸道感染频率的相关性进行分析：共调查了 129 名儿童，平均年龄为 72.2±4.2 个月。与体重正常的儿童相比，营养不良儿童发生急性呼吸道感染的概率是正常儿童的3.4倍（OR=3.449；P=0.025，95% CI=0.109-29.049），发生支气管肺炎的概率是正常儿童的5.6倍（OR=5.643；P=0.049，95% CI=0.874-36.434）。食用肉类和肉制品与支气管炎之间存在明显的正相关关系（P=0.030；OR 9.921；95% CI -1.252, +78.610），而食用熟食与急性呼吸道感染之间存在明显的负相关关系（P=0.015；OR 0.046；95% CI -0.004, +0.552）。意外的是，在食用新鲜水果和蔬菜与某些呼吸道感染之间发现了显著的正相关关系，这需要通过更多的分析来验证：结论：DQ 和 NS 与学龄前儿童的急性呼吸道感染频率有关。结论：DQ 和 NS 与学龄前儿童的急性呼吸道感染频率有关，需要对更多的参与者进行进一步分析，以便得出更准确的结论。
